(...) You are right that I can approximate it simply by making all the parts white (as shown). However, shaded white is not really white. Every angle of white reflecting to the camera is actually a different shade of gray. I really want no shading (...) (14 years ago, 23-May-11, to lugnet.cad, FTX)

For various reasons, I've been attempting to extract a vector line drawing of a large LDraw model. On the surface, this would seem simple (which is always the case for the hardest projects). LDraw itself is a vector format. Each edge line is defined (...) (14 years ago, 23-May-11, to lugnet.cad, FTX)

Has anyone modeled a bit of flex tubing that has beveled ends? I think I know what I need to do to model it but actually doing it may be beyond my patience, (but maybe I'm using the wrong tool, working with quads in MLCad is a bit hard) Thanks. (14 years ago, 23-May-11, to lugnet.cad)

Hi all, I'm going to be working on the website over the next few weeks. I suck at graphic design, I think this is a perfect to solicit ideas/designs for the website theme. No coding experience is required. I can handle that aspect if needed. -Orion (14 years ago, 22-May-11, to lugnet.cad)

An estimation made by JC Tchang gives 2433 parts for LDD and 4506 for LDraw. These figures include patterned parts, but not the 550 LDraw shortcut parts. Philo (14 years ago, 20-May-11, to lugnet.cad)
